With the recent increase in monitoring the current global health challenges related to COVID-19, we at IDM Hospitality Management want to ensure our guests, clients, vendors, and partners that safety is our top priority. Because of the recent reports concerning the confirmed nationwide cases of COVID-19, our portfolio of hotels has immediately implemented several increased health and safety measures.
No matter what is occurring in the world today, ensuring that our guests enjoy a relaxing and productive visit is of the utmost importance to each person who works at an IDM property. We help our guests enjoy their stay by maintaining all areas of our hotels to the highest standards, from the rooms where guests sleep, to the food and beverage outlets where guests dine, to the public spaces where guests relax.
In addition to the high daily cleanliness standards already in place throughout each property, the team is taking additional steps to help combat the spread of COVID-19. Some examples of the additional precautionary measures we have taken are:
Increased hand washing and sanitation efforts by staff
Providing more soap and hand-cleanser products for use by guests and staff
Frequent sanitizing of publicly used surfaces in the hotel, such as counter tops and doorknobs
Guest rooms are thoroughly sanitized by staff after each guest has checked out
Hotel staff members who are exhibiting symptoms are not allowed on premise and if the onset of symptoms occurs while at work, they are immediately sent home for rest and medical guidance as needed
Increased contact with local health authorities and are following their instructions about public health areas and how to contain infections
We are committed to complying with the stringent health standards recommended by local and national health authorities during this public health situation. Our corporate office is available to answer any questions regarding any of our properties or the procedures we have put in place.

These times are definitely not “business as usual,” but as a management company that employs over 500 people across the Midwest, we are doing everything we can do maintain stability for our staff, our guests, and our business partners. We look forward to coming out of this situation on the other side, stronger than ever.
